The rookie running back missed New York's win over the Eagles with a hamstring injury but is expected back for the rematch with Washington.
Cam Skattebo is on track to play Thursday night as the Giants, leading the NFC East, host the Commanders in a Week 10 rematch. The rookie back has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, but the team expects him to suit up without any lingering limitations.
New York got by without him last week, beating the Eagles 19-11, but it wasn't exactly a ground-game showcase. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. also out on injured reserve, Devin Singletary carried the load and the Giants' rushing attack struggled to find rhythm.
Getting Skattebo back is less a bonus than a necessity for an offense that has clearly missed his presence in the backfield. He has become a fan favorite in New York, and his return gives the Giants a fuller complement of options as they try to keep pace atop the division.
Washington will be looking to even the score after an earlier loss to New York this season, and having Skattebo back in the lineup gives the Giants a boost heading into the rematch.
